More news about gender equality

And it seems a number of people, including the Fathers4Justice group, agree, with campaigner Matt O'Connor saying: "Tesco needs to stop this gender apartheid."

Samantha Rennie, executive director at equality group the Rosa UK Fund for Women and Girls, added: "The idea that shopping trolleys should be gendered in any way seems ridiculous.

"It's a seemingly small factor that plays a role in reinforcing stereotypical ideas of the woman being responsible for the weekly food shop."

But not everyone has backed the woman. Others have voiced their disagreement at the accusations of sexism.

MrStick tweeted: "Someone has complained to @Tesco that this is sexist as it shows a woman doing the shopping. The woman who complained needs to get a life. It maybe a man dressed as a woman #everydaysexism . World's gone mad."
